A headshot is the perfect 1st photo to have in your Tinder or online dating app profile (e.g., Bumble, Hinge). Ideally, your Tinder headshot should give a clear impression of how you look.

You should have a comprehensive set of Tinder photos, from headshots to full body pictures doing fun activities, having coffee, playing a sport, etc.

A successful Tinder photoshoot requires some preparing from you and your dating app photographer, including:

1. Prepare a set of looks to change during the photo session, from classy to casual looks
2. Bring accessories that give an extra “taste” to your look, from necklaces to sunglasses, rings, or hats.
3. Engage in conversation and chat with other people before the session so you feel engaged and in the right mood to have fun during the session
4. Be candid with your Tinder photographer on what you’d like and what you would like to do in your pictures, from poses
5. Find a professional in dating app photos instead of a general photographer who has little clue about the context and intricacies of online dating.
